Effect of Protein Supplement on Paraspinal Muscles in Spine Surgery

Summary

Protein intake in spinal fusion surgery can prevent paraspinal muscle atrophy by maintaining muscle mass, regeneration, and growth. Also, by reducing the amount of pseudarthrosis, pain and disability can have a positive effect on recovery. The high prevalence of this type of surgery, the instability and degeneration of adjacent surfaces of fused sections, lumbar muscle atrophy, increased muscle tissue fat, and negative impact on patient recovery, also with regard to the fact that research has so far aimed to determine The effect of protein supplementation on para-spinal muscles has not been studied in patients undergoing posterior lumbar spine fusion surgery, therefore clinical trials are necessary. In this trial patients undergoing elective posterior spine fusion surgery are divided into two groups of intervention or control.
